Today was incredibly somber for me, and I am certain other people felt this way, as well. Every year, a deep part of me re-lives 9/11. I wasn't afraid, not for a second, but I was definitely in silent, angry shock. Sixteen years later, I still can't believe all that has transpired since that day. … Continue reading Sixteen Years

I wish I had fabulous things to share here as I look back on 2016, the year itself as a complete "body of work", as opposed to how I genuinely feel about it.

Where The Hell Does The Year Go? Every year I’m semi-amazed I’ve survived and gotten this far: Both in life and in the day-to-day struggle. I have a lot to be grateful for.

Tomorrow is Samhain, which is Halloween for the uninitiated who can't even pronounce what I just said.

Unfortunately, you will often find … Continue reading Friendship -VS- “Friendship”: Sincerity Or Malice?
